It does this for each gear. My neighbor was riding w me and told me he just had the same problem and it was his clutch. Do I need a new clutch or is there some other thing causing this problem?

sounds like your clutch....its worn out and not gripping the flywheel like it should... id prob have that replaced and the flywheel resurfaced. i just had mine done in january and everything cost about 450 if i remember correctly

Status: offline You can tell by putting it in 3rd gear going about 20mph and hit the gas. If the motor revs but you don't really go, it's slipping. If it takes off and sounds like the motor is struggling, then it's ok.
